# Whimsically Colored Wildlife Art Ola Liola Renders Animals with Rosy Hues & Floral Patterns By Jason Soy | Published 2012-01-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ola-liola References: [lacarpa.tumblr](http://lacarpa.tumblr.com/post/16593067662/ola-liola#n) & [society6](http://society6.com/artist/olaliola) Flora and fauna collide in these [intricate images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) by the talented Ola Liola. Rather than simply paint in the fur, feathers and skin of each respective animal in these renderings, Liola has instead layered on [nature-inspired patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wilderkind-collection) on top of each creature, giving them a highly sophisticated and surreal look. If that wasn’t enough, Liola also has a preference for rosy-hued palettes, giving her animals a whimsical pink, purple and red color and ultimately providing viewers with an ocular experience they’ve never encountered before. Also worth mentioning is how realistic each Ola Liola [animal painting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) is. Even with the addition of ink floral patterns, Liola never neglects lighting and value when she paints the watercolor portions of her illustrations. As a result, her images are stuck somewhere between the tangible and pure imagination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nature-inspired Patterns:** Opportunity for integrating intricate nature-inspired patterns into various design fields. - **Whimsical Color Palettes:** Chance to explore the use of whimsical pink, purple, and red color palettes in unconventional ways. - **Surrealistic Animal Renderings:** Potential for creating surrealistic animal artworks by layering patterns and unconventional colors. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Innovative techniques like integrating nature-inspired patterns and whimsical color palettes can reshape the art and design industry. - **Fashion and Textiles:** Fashion and textile designers can experiment with nature-inspired patterns and unconventional color palettes to create unique and eye-catching designs. - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** Opportunity for incorporating surrealistic animal artworks into home decor and interior design, adding a touch of whimsy and sophistication. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Vibrant Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-primitivism.md) - [Vibrant Interactive Digital Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Kyoto-Inspired Solo Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-kyoto.md)
